I would be surprised he would resign. I think he is to arrogant and resigning means he would have to accept defeat

Alright cool. Now show me that same energy for John Isakson, Kelly Leofler and Saxby Chamblis
I was just thinking how long these last 4 years have been.And to come to this type of ending can only be seen in 4K ultra HD.
Her foundation about to get paid....
Kelly rich as fuck but none of that same energy for her. So rich she got her mansion value reduced to pay LESS taxes. These dudes are here to complain and do nothing else.
All of this......
Kamala Harris is about to become the most powerful vice president in nearly a century
As we await final confirmation of Georgia's Senate runoff results, one thing is already known. The Senate, evenly split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans, will have a new leader on Jan. 20—Vice President Kamala Harris.Harris should exercise her constitutionally-guaranteed role as the...

Oh Wow did not know he attended Morehouse
She went full white woman like Nikki Haley.
I think her heart is in Georgia. Her people are her priority.
One of the best decisions of my life was that I got all three of my degrees from a Black university.
So thankful those 6 PWIs denied me.
She did entertain the possibility of being VP. To be honest, she is an
attorney; if she was nominated to the Supreme Court, what Democrat
would object?
She definitely needs to stay in Ga. Her running for Governor again will bring out another high turnout in Ga, which will be critical for 2022.
This election was more about what the people done on the local/state level to change the federal level.
There needs to be a Stacey Abrams in every major democratic city, especially in the swing states.
I’m going to need Charlotte, NC to lean the same way ATL did. I was displeased that Dems only got 68% of that city.
HNIC insurance for the second meetup gon be high af
He will be pissed off with Mike Pence by the end of the day today.
The two of them will not be on speaking terms. Trump will pardon
himself since he has contempt for the US constitution.
Yeah and remember Warnock will have to run again in 2022. Having Abrams AND Warnock on the Democratic state ticket will be HUGE for Georgia Voters....
I don’t get what you are saying
We're in complete agreement on this. Now with that being said, it's absolutely terrifying, How this white man can perform the worst job not just of any POTUS, but of any worker at a Burger King, dog walker at LaSalle, AND STILL garner record setting votes for reelection! America as always has a deeply seeded problem that's not going away anytime soon.
He breathed life into white supremacy by normalizing it
Oh, hell yeah. That’s monumental. I think Keshia is up for re-election too for Mayor of ATL.
His race against Loeffler was a special election to finish off Isakson's term.
No time soon. That’s unfortunate, but this was a needed exposure for this country.
Well, Dems better not fuck around and get to work. They also better not waste time consulting and other bullshit with GOP.. They showed you what they're about. Fuck'em don't even let them in the room to stall shit if they already have the votes for their agenda. Tell them to go hang out at Mar-la-go-Trump if that place is still around.
Im not a fan of HBCUs but i get the point...
A huge night for Biden
The Democratic Party’s 2020 victory just got a lot bigger.
And Joe Biden’s chances of signing ambitious legislation — to fight climate change, reduce economic inequality and slow the coronavirus pandemic — got a lot bigger, too.
The Democrats appear to have won both Senate runoffs in Georgia last night, giving them control of the Senate. The Rev. Raphael Warnock has beaten Senator Kelly Loeffler by about 2 percentage points, according to Times estimates. Most news organizations have not yet called the race between Jon Ossoff and Senator David Perdue, but Ossoff leads by about 16,000 votes and the outstanding votes come from Democratic-leaning areas.
The Times’s Nate Cohn, who analyzes election returns, said he believed Ossoff would likely end up with a lead of more than 0.5 percentage points — large enough to avoid a recount. David Wasserman of the Cook Political Report wrote that he considered both races to be over.
The apparent victories will give Democrats control of both the White House and both houses of Congress for the first time in 10 years.
True, their control of the Senate will be by the narrowest of margins — a 50-50 tie, broken by the incoming vice president, Kamala Harris. That narrowness will mean that Democrats will rarely be able to overcome a filibuster and will often be reliant on their most moderate senators, like Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.
But a Senate majority will still make a profound difference to the Biden administration. It will be able to pass budget bills and confirm judges (neither of which tend to be vulnerable to filibusters) so long as Democrats remain united.
Mitch McConnell will no longer be Senate majority leader, with the power to decide which bills come up for a vote. Chuck Schumer will be in charge, for the first time.
Much of the economic agenda that Biden proposed during the campaign is now in play. And it was a boldly progressive agenda, including plans to reduce medical costs, expand Medicare, create manufacturing jobs and promote clean energy, as well as raise taxes on the rich. Many of those policies — as well as measures to accelerate a mass vaccination program and increase economic stimulus — can be included in a budget bill this year.
Before last night, the 2020 election looked like a decidedly mixed picture: victory over an incumbent president for the Democrats, combined with a surprisingly good showing for down-ballot Republicans. Last night didn’t erase all the good news for Republicans, but it did rob them of their biggest prize — Senate control.
Biden will now have much more of a chance to be a president who gets things done.
More analysis of the results:
Senate control will allow Biden to use a coronavirus stimulus package “as a vehicle for hundreds of billions of dollars in spending to boost the renewable energy economy,” Coral Davenport, a Times climate reporter, says.
“Senator Mitch McConnell has plenty of experience in gumming up the works as minority leader. Get ready to hear a lot about Senate moderates in both parties and a procedure called ‘reconciliation,’ which allows some legislation to skirt a filibuster,” Carl Hulse, The Times’s chief Washington correspondent, says.
Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, told CNN that final results would probably be available by lunchtime today.
Josh Kraushaar of National Journal noted that Perdue ran well ahead of Ossoff in the election’s first round two months ago — suggesting that the last two months of events had hurt Republicans.
Maggie Haberman of The Times pointed out that the Republican losses came despite Trump’s campaigning in the state: “This is the first indication of the damage he’s done his own level of influence in the party in the last two months.”
Ramesh Ponnuru of National Review wrote on Twitter that Perdue and Loeffler suffered from three problems: “being unimpressive candidates, GA shifting purple, and Trump being a maniac.”
Nate Cohn wrote that, compared with the November elections, turnout fell the most in rural and heavily pro-Trump parts of Georgia and the least in heavily Black areas.
Until 2020, no Democrat had won a statewide race in Georgia since 2006. And one person — Stacey Abrams — is most responsible for Georgia’s new status as a Democratic state, Reid Epstein and Astead Herndon of The Times write.
